11. Key Risk Factors

  • Business / Working Capital: Customer receivables may not be collected on time or at all, and the business is working-capital intensive. Delayed collections could affect cash flows, financial condition and operations.
  • Financial / Leverage: The Company states that its indebtedness and leverage are significantly higher than those of listed peers. Higher debt may increase financial risk and reduce operational flexibility.
  • Customer Concentration: The top 10 customers contributed 72.30% of revenue from operations in FY2026. Losing or reducing business from major customers could affect revenue.
  • Legal / Regulatory: Outstanding legal proceedings involve the Company, subsidiaries, promoters and directors. Adverse outcomes could affect business, financial condition and results.
  • Industry / Project Concentration: The business is primarily focused on irrigation and water supply projects, with concentration in specific project types and contracts. Changes in sector conditions or contract concentration may affect results.
  • Geographic: Operations are concentrated in Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh, although the Company operates across 12 states as of March 31, 2026. Localized events could affect operations and project execution.
  • Human Resources: Employee attrition was 23.94% in FY2026. Difficulty in retaining skilled professionals may affect project execution and future performance.
  • Compliance: The Company is subject to anti-bribery, anti-corruption and sanctions laws and regulations. Non-compliance could result in legal, financial or reputational consequences.
  • Tender / Order Acquisition: The business depends significantly on successfully bidding for and acquiring projects. Lower tender success or unfavorable bidding outcomes could affect order inflow.
  • Cost / Contract Execution: Actual project costs may differ from bid assumptions, while material price changes may affect project economics. Incremental costs may not always be fully recoverable.
  • Government Programme Concentration: A significant portion of the order book comes from Jal Jeevan Mission projects. Policy or programme changes may affect order flow and execution.
  • Sub-contractors: Certain project activities rely on sub-contractors. Performance issues or delays could affect project execution and customer relationships.
  • Offer / Valuation: The RHP states that the Offer Price is at a significant premium to the listed peer group P/E ratio. The final P/E figures are not populated in the attached RHP.
  • Bank Guarantees: Certain customers require bank guarantees. Invocation or increased guarantee requirements could affect cash flows and financial condition.
  • Project Delays: Delays in ongoing projects may result in termination, penalties, additional costs or loss of early-completion benefits, affecting revenue, profitability and cash flows.
  • New Precast Business: The Company has recently established manufacturing units to enter the precast concrete business. The RHP identifies challenges related to managing the new manufacturing process and sourcing/operations.
